Doc Text:
If you are using the JBoss Application Server from JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6.0.1, upgrading the Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager will not automatically update the application server to EAP 6.1. Although Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager supports EAP 6.0.1, it is recommended to update to the latest supported JBoss version. To upgrade to JBoss EAP 6.1, see https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform/6.1/html/Installation_Guide/Upgrade_the_JBoss_Enterprise_Application_Platform_6_RPM_Installation.html.

Description Juan Hernández 2013-05-07 12:35:08 UTC
According to the EAP team the only tested and supported way to update EAP is to run a full "yum update" with at least the base and EAP channels enabled. This means that we need to run this command from our upgrade tool, before restarting the application server, otherwise the end result is undefined and unsupported.

For more details see bug 950479.

Comment 4 Russell Dickenson 2013-05-22 03:12:23 UTC
I expect the "Doc Text" proposed above is a draft because I wanted to mention that in a Release Notes item we can't provide a link to an internal site.

Comment 5 Cheryn Tan 2013-05-27 03:02:17 UTC
Thanks for spotting the error Russell, it now points to the GA docs on access.redhat.com.

Comment 7 Cheryn Tan 2013-08-13 01:45:32 UTC
This was documented in the RHEV 3.2 release notes:

https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.2/html/Manager_Release_Notes/chap-Technical_Notes.html#Recommended_Practices1

If manually upgrading the JBoss AS is expected behavior for future releases, we can add it to the upgrade sections in the Installation and Administration Guide. 

What's the plan for 3.3 -- are we expecting to add a dependency on EAP 6.1?
